Trump gave classified, 'codeword' intelligence information to the Russian ambassador--a confirmed spy--and to Russian state media people who had not been vetted by the US intelligence community.

Trump's twitter followers are getting, this morning, a lovely propaganda statement about 'humanitarian reasons' for leaking classified information to a foreign power who is, to this day, hostile to democracy in general, and to the US's stated democratic values.

Those followers, and Fox News, will spin his treason every way they can, but, right now, at least one person is being tortured for providing intelligence to US allies, which in turn gave it to US intelligence.

Rationally, what are the chances that those allies will be willing to endanger their people, their agents, and their own countries, on the altar of Trump's stupidity?

For those shrugging and thinking that the US doesn't need intelligence from other sources: if the US didn't need it, there wouldn't be intelligence alliances between the US and those other countries. Those alliances don't exist to 'provide jobs' or for show. They exist because they are essential to protect the US--and Trump just torpedoed that.

MAGA, Trump's flabby orange behind. He is Putin's puppet, and continues to prove he lives for Putin's approval, every day.

Intelligence assets are THEE most valuable assets for both Homeland Security and for global stabilization. Sacrificing just one is unacceptable for many reasons, not least among them that trust is the foundation of intelligence sharing between allies. Trump screwed the pooch hard here, and he did it to tuck himself in tighter with his own vested financial interests.

That's a flat-out conflict of interest. A lot of Trump detractors during the campaign warned us about these possibilities. I thought Trump would allow himself to be surrounded by staff members smart enough to keep him from doing this kind of thing. I'm now starting t become afraid that he'll become the first POTUS executed for high treason. I promise that that's not something i would ever want to see happen, not something i would ever cheer for. Especially with Mike Pence in the wings. My step-father predicted that the Republican powers would give enough rope to hang himself so they could put their own establishment guy on top, and that prediction makes sense.

No investigative committee will bring that to light because we no longer live in a two-party system. That's the whole reason Trump got elected in the first place!

We live in a totalitarian police state where any citizen can spend the rest of their life in prison based on the testimony of people the accused had never even met, and they don't even have to testify that they saw the accused do anything illegal, or heard the accused conspire to do anything illegal, only that he associated with them. And that predates the "Patriot Act." It's called "RICO."

After watching these two "parties" pursue virtually identical agendas for around 35 years now, does nobody get it?

If Trump wanted job security, he should've taken Bernie as his running mate. Not that dual assassination is out of the question when TPTB are threatened.
